Hi all. Any good laptop with around 5-6k budget? Im looking at ASUS MSI OMEN

Usage? Any preferences on weight and battery life?

Some gaming, movies and casual browsing. No preference on battery life since will always carry power adapter together. Not too heavy to bring around is fine.

Max weight in kg?

2-2.5kg?

Prefer gaming laptop or normal laptop/Ultrabook? Able to wait 1-2 months?

I am ok with gaming/normal laptop. Prefer to just get it now to play games during MCO haha

Dell not approved?

not a single decent model (except for Area 51m which is too expensive), therefore no

With 2060 GPU:
Acer Predator Helios 300 PH315-52-794X
Lenovo Legion Y540 15 customize / Y540 15 81SX004XMJ / Y7000SE customize: apply code LENXCIMB
Commandos Carbine Evo 6 Plus

Hello Sifus, sorry to bother, I need your help in suggesting a good gaming/work laptop please.

Usage : AutoCAD, office work (excel, ppt, word), browsing multiple tabs, multimedia, youtube and some mid-high spec gaming

Budget : around RM 7000

Ram : Min 8gb

Cooling : With good cooling system (If possible)

Solid Build around the hinges please. Had this problem once with Ienovo Laptop, never again.

Im lookin at Illegear Onyx Pro because of the freebies and 5% discount they currently have at the moment.

If you want solid build around hinges, might want to consider business laptops

No preferences on weight and battery life?

Thanks for the advice by Sifu. Mainly this laptop are use to edit my RAW image by using Lightroom and Photoshop. Occasionally some timelapse by usng Premiere Pro. Also buying this laptop is to attach my 27inch 4k monitor. I am not into gaming at all, just use it for my office work and watch movie. So these specs are more than sufficient i guess?? Anyway payment has been made, no turning back. LOL

Sorry foe the late reply.

In term of weight, I don't really have any preference. Cause its most probably would be carried from home to car to office at most and vice versa.

But I was hoping the battery could at least last about 4-5 hours when using AutoCAD without connecting to any power source.
Or maybe at least a few hours when gaming. 😬

Since this laptop I think would probably be my personal and work laptop but more to personal usage.

Thanks for the advice in advance again Sifu. 🙇‍♂️

4-5 hrs in light load is possible, but not in AutoCAD

Ah I see, I guess anything is fine.

Just want to have a laptop thats worth the money for gaming and work. Mostly gaming.

Hi can i check not decent in what aspect? Notebook build, reliability , overpriced? Curious as I was looking at some dell options as well.

Can consider Level51 Forge-15R (minimum R5-3600, 2060, 16GB RAM)
Mainly cooling issue

Ok thanks Sifu.

thanks for this list, it will help me to make a choice.
